Well i used to be big into e-cigs (have a nice e-go from libertyflights) but i work in a analog enviorment (i sell ryo products), but im finding im smoking waaaaaaaay too much. So in a attempt to cut back im going back to ecigs and need some liquid questions answered.

As i dont really care bout vapor production as much, i want to know whats the best vg/pg mixture to make the flavors stand out as much as possible. I feel like i can never find the perfect mixture and i have a ton of ejuice left from when i orginally started my ecig journey. I just hate blowing money and not liking what i got then having to reorder and wait lol.

Also in analogs i smoke a camel menthol light ish (again i work in an ryo setting i custom blend my smokes) and want to know whats a good nic mg that wont make the liquid harsh. I HATE HARSH SMOKE/VAPOR, call me dr smooth cause i dont do bumps in the road. I know this has to do with vg/pg mix + nic mg but i also dont wanna smoke air and be choo choo puffing an ecig all day....my customers would think im nuts.

Whats new in the cart area? I have the old school blanks with the white filter but i need new ones and new atomizers so before i order i wanna know if theres anything awsome i should look into.

Somewhere between 50/50 and 70pg/30vg works best for me. Or do a place like Ms T's where they already balance it perfectly depending on the flavor (no options, just great taste).

As far as new toys, the Vision products are great. The vision clearomizer is my personal favorite, easy to fill, tons of vapor though sometimes a little too much on some juices. The Vision Ego is a little short lived IMO but works pretty well and is very sturdy. Yoiu just have to clean it a lot. For regular cartos I still see a lot of people who are stuck on their Boge LR carts. I have also been rocking the slim tankers with the single coil, 2 ohm, 3 hole cartos. Works much better than the dual coils IMO.

I found myself chain vaping as well. I just got the go-go with it's fat, large volume cartos and find I am putting it down much more frequently. I was using a somewhat large Lavatube with a tank on it so in comparison, the go-go feels small to me. Don't underestimate large clouds of vapor like those from the go-go. To me, it is making up for what I consider to be a good throat hit. I also smoked full flavor ryo's to help offset the cost of my 3 pack/day habit and I'm doing fine with this go-go. I was beginning to tire of pressing buttons and tuning variable voltage mods which is why I went to Discount Vapers and bought the go-go for something that is a no brainer that just works and that I don't need to carry a kit of various hardware around with me.

As far as I am concerned, the gogo cartos are the best I have tried so far and they hold a ton of juice! Right now I am currently using two, 100% VG juices that were somewhat mild in flavor with the clearomizers without cranking the voltage which was half the time giving me nearly burnt hits or scratchy throat hits. Now it seems I have found the best of both worlds without breaking the bank and with less fiddling with settings. I didn't like using the clear tanks in public for it making me look like a fiend or a doper. This go-go is a much more benign in appearance for my environment.

Now when it comes down to pg/vg i know what they stand for put property wise whats the difference?
for example what does having more pg over vg do ? or vise versa?
Does one make the flavor pop vs the other?
I tend to like the fruity more crazy flavors, am a huge fan of mutts fire and ice over at vaporbomb. And sweetish fish from vapor renu is an absolute fav of mine. I just want to make sure im getting tasty and smooth not bitter and harsh.

From my point of view, PG has a less full bodied flavor, produces more throat hit, and thinner vapor.

VG has a richer taste that feels more thick and warm going in and produces massive clouds of thick sticky vapor coming out.

On the feeling end, PG gives my wife dry mouth and mild stomach discomfort whereas VG makes my throat sore.

I've been loving Bloog's Menthol flavor, very natural and the closest I've found to Marlboro Light or Camel Crush menthol. I tried menthol juice from VaporKings and V2 and it wasn't very good...too harsh and chemical tasting for me.

Of course, from what I understand these brands are the proverbial tip of the iceberg. I should have some Halo coming in soon and my tune may change.

I agree that VG produces a rich, creamy vapor and flavor that is very satisfying. The last time I picked up a PG juice, it was just "meh". I get plenty of flavor and throat hit from pure VG.

That being said, the closest I've ever gotten to the flavor of a hand-rolled Drum was Vapor Station's Texas, which is a VG/PG mix.

Oh, and if flavor is important, ditch the cartos and drip onto a 1.5 LR atty. It's no more fuss than reaching for a match. Better flavor than you can ever get with a carto, or even a bottom-feeder, for that matter. At this point, I would only consider something like a carto or bottom feed if I was going on a long drive, just for the convenience - but I would expect that I would miss the flavor of dripping.

Now i have a eGo i bought form libertyflights awhile back, the orginal one not the xl or the t or c or anything like that, do you have to have a specific battery for a 1.5 LR battery or will the standard ones that came with the kit work fine?

im a little confused as two people say (and yes i know everyones tastes are different) VG tends to make the flavor pop more and that PG tends to be less on the flavor side, however i pulled this form the ECF Library

Propylene Glycol (PG)
Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most commonly used, more throat hit, more flavor.
Slightly sweet and colorless.

Vegetable Glycerin ( VG)
Glycerol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smoother.
Slightly thicker and sweeter.
Produces more vapor.

im just a glutton for punishment i know lol i just love my flavoring
